Call for Entries - 2012

Juried Show to accompany The Sixth International Encaustic Conference Juror: Francine D'Olimpio Location: Kobalt Gallery, Provincetown, MA

Deadline: April 1st, 2012

CONFLUENCE: Water and Light

 

 

For our annual juried show we invite registered conferees to consider the watery vastness into which Provincetown is set: the calm Massachusetts Bay in the crook of the arm of the Cape, and the roiling Atlantic that spirals out beyond it. For a hundred years artists have come to Provincetown to paint the ocean that enfolds it, at high tide and low, and to capture the exquisite light that hovers just below the horizon, illuminates the shore and bathes the dunes.

We challenge you to draw inspiration from this embrace of water and light—realistically, abstractly or somewhere in between. The luminosity and fluidity of encaustic would seem especially suited to the challenge. If you would prefer, you may draw your inspiration from a different ocean with its own special light, or from the sense of “ocean” or from a sense memory of water itself: traveling through it or over it, perhaps even flying above it.

There is no fee, but entrants must be registered for The Conference by the deadline.
